Best of Boston

1999 Best Mediterranean Restaurant

Maurizio’s

Maurizio’s two floors, connected by a spiral staircase, make for a cozy and playful atmosphere, where the service is friendly and the meal begins with a complimentary glass of champagne. Delicious pasta—linguini with littleneck clams, black fettuccini with smoked salmon in a tomato cream sauce-—and wonderful seafood—pan-roasted tuna steak and grilled red snapper fillet—at reasonable prices.
